Walker Evans and the Picture Postcard


I've been fascinated with old photography of late. Walker Evans' work has struck a chord with me and so it was fortuitous to find on the Financial Times the Walker Evans Picture Postcard Archive. There's actually a showing of Evans' postcards currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and was reviewed recently in The New York Times.
